Wrong Way Detection Installations in the Greater Hartford Area
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing the start of wrong way detection installations in the Greater Hartford area on July, 27, 2024. This project includes wrong way detection systems to be installed at 42 limited access highway off-ramps that are considered high-risk locations for wrong-way drivers. Typical wrong way detection systems may consist of radar, video, and/or thermal cameras that will be deployed along off-ramps as the primary detection for wrong-way vehicles. The detection will then activate flashing red circular lights located on the wrong-way signs alerting drivers that they are traveling in the wrong direction and need to take corrective action.
This project includes various ramps in the following towns: Berlin, Cheshire, Cromwell, East Hartford, East Windsor, Enfield, Glastonbury, Hartford, Manchester, Meriden, Middlefield, Middletown, New Britain, Southington, South Windsor, Vernon, West Hartford, Willington, and Windsor. See list below for specific ramp locations.
CTDOT Project No. 0171-0495 was awarded to A.M Rizzo Electrical Contractors Inc at a cost of $6,793,124.10 on June 13, 2024, is scheduled to be completed on November 12, 2025. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 1 in Rocky Hill.
